In the previous I mentioned that we will cover what tabbed browsing in Internet Explorer 7 is and how to make use of it. With tabbed browsing you can view multiple web pages inside your Internet Explorer program. This allows to flick from one webpage to another. Without tabbed browsing you had to click back and forward to view previously browsed pages. Now you can keep a web page open and then open a new tab go to another web page, allowing you to flick between the two or more if you want. You might want to print this article before continuing.
First of all you will need to have Internet Explorer 7 installed. Here is how to check what version of Internet Explorer you are running:
1. On your keyboard press and hold the Windows key  While this key is pressed down, press the R key on your keyboard and let go of both buttons. This will bring up a box called Run
2.In this box type iexplore and click OK. This will open Internet Explorer.
3.Press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard. While holding it down press the H key on your keyboard and let go.
4.This brings up a menu where one of the options is About Internet Explorer. Click on this.
5.This will bring up a box that will tell you whether you are running version 6 or 7 of Internet Explorer. If you are running version 6 of Internet Explorer then continue with the next step.
If however you are running version 7 then skip steps 6 - 8.
6.You will need to download and install Internet Explorer 7. Click here and when done installing Internet Explorer 7, return to this page in order to complete the rest of the steps or use your printed copy to continue on the rest of the steps.
7.If your computer needs to be restarted then you will need to open Internet Explorer again. On your keyboard press and hold the Windows key While this key is pressed down, press the R key on your keyboard and let go of both keys. This will bring up a box called Run
8.In this box type iexplore and click OK. This will open Internet Explorer.
Now that we are all on Internet Explorer 7 I will show you how to open multiple tabs and move between them. Click here to see an example.
You will see tabs inside the red circled area. You will notice that each tab has a different web page. You can click between these to view the different pages. Look at the area circled in green. If you hold your mouse over the same area you will have the option to open a new tab. Click on it to open the new tab. You will have a new blank tab where you can input a website you want to visit – simply type the website you want to visit and press Enter.
While browsing a web page and you want to keep the existing page open and open a link on that page you can do one of the following to open it in a new tab.
1.Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click on the link you want to open and watch the new page appear as a tabbed page.
2.Move your cursor to the link you want to open and press down on your mouse wheel. (not rolling it forwards or backwards but actually pressing it in.) You will see the page appear as a new tab.
If you want to close a tab, simply hold your cursor over it and a red cross will appear, click on it to close the tab. |

Well it has been a while since I wrote the last computer article. I was out of action for a couple of weeks having to go to South Africa for a funeral.
Now that all is back to normal you should be getting your weekly computer tips. This week we are going to learn how to alphabetize your favorites. I thought I'd write about this as I have had a number of people ask me how-to do this.
By default as you add favorites to internet explorer they tend to be added to the top of the list. Later when you want to find a specific favorite you almost have to go through all of them to find the one you are looking for. If you had them alphabetised, well that makes things much easier.
You'll need to have Internet Explorer open. Right-click on one of your Favorites. You will now be presented with a list of options. Choose Sort by Name. There you go - all sorted alphabetically.
Look out for next week's tip. If you have any friends or family that you think would benefit from these emails you can click here

Sometimes you need to remove a program that you installed that you do not want anymore or a program has installed itself from the internet.
Well if you need to remove this culprit here is the procedure.
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Control Panel (or Settings first then Control Panel, depending your version of Windows)
3. Click on the icon in the control panel called Add or Remove Programs.
4. Wait a minute for the list of program to populate the screen. Here you can scroll up and down the list (usually sorted alphabetically) to find the program you wish to remove.
5. Click on this program once followed by clicking on the Remove or Change button.
6. Follow the instructions to remove the program!
Hope this makes you just that bit more able as a computer user. |
